The investigations
The investigations, carried out at the time under the direction of the Public Prosecutor's Office of Naples, had made it possible to ascertain that the Vassallo brothers, through the company Novambiente Srl attributable to them, had managed to illegally dispose of a large quantity of waste, including toxic and dangerous waste, sending it to numerous illegal landfills, including the well-known "Cava Giuliani" in Giugliano in Campania, causing serious environmental damage to the surrounding areas, part of which were used for intense agricultural cultivation.
The collaborator of justice
According to what was also reported by the collaborator of justice Gaetano Vassallo, the whole thing had been carried out under the aegis and control of the Camorra and, in particular, of the criminal group led by Francesco Bidognetti, known as Cicciotto 'e Mezzanotte, head of the faction of the same name federated to the Casalesi clan, who had obtained in exchange a portion of the illegal profits accrued over time, thus ensuring himself a significant source of illicit financing.
The confiscated assets
The parallel economic-financial investigations ordered by the magistrates of the Neapolitan DDA and carried out by the financial police, thanks also to the use of the “Molecola” application created by the Central Service for the Investigation of Organized Crime (SCICO), had allowed the reconstruction of the respective assets of the suspects and to demonstrate their presumed illicit origin due to the ascertained condition of disproportion with respect to the official availability. The consequent preventive seizure adopted in 2008 by the investigating judge was recently confirmed in full by the court which thus ordered the confiscation of a large amount of assets consisting of 44 commercial and residential properties, 13 hectares of land, 7 prestigious watches, 900.000 euros in financial availability, for a total value of approximately 10 million euros.
